Woo Hoo! My first post.

Thanks for the welcome. It is a tad warmer but it's winter here too and you see people wearing jackets. It's about 28 degrees which is rather pleasant.

Thanks. Thailand is great - I love living here. Bangkok is one of those "love it or hate it" places. Fortunately I'm one of the "love it" types but I can understand why some people dislike it. Driving here takes some getting used to as well.

Where did you go when you were here? One of the islands?

Lookin' Good Nevatas - I take it that is a JDM STi? I tried hard to find a silver UK Sti when I came to buy my latest, but to no avail...

After reading all of your comments about the STi lights and looking at my bank balance over crimbo I am considering keeping the OEM now!

What do you guys reckon?

Problem is if you do change your lights they are never going to be as good as the HID ones, I have upgraded the main beam bulbs in mine and the lighting is now pritty good .

Wondered whether many silver UK STi's were rolled out of dealers over here. There were pretty much none to be had when I bought mine.

Litchfield have go that Type 25 in now too right? <licks lips in anticipation> One day, when I win the lotto!

So is the T25 a paralell EU import too or a JDM?

Ian has sold STiEU's, STiJDM's and Spec C's you can order a TYPE25 in which you choose but vary in costs IIRC
